Check out the Idoc articles on exchanging Idoc (Intermediate documents) between SAP and non-SAP systems In- and outbound. Check out the BAPI articles on access to documents bypassing a graphical user interface. And get to grips with the transport mechanism, which effectively interfaces development objects though the system landscape.
